From another forum:

The wording is a tad dubious. I can't imagine any store (brick and mortar) that would wish to damage sales of their merchandise, or come into conflict with SONY. Though I notice SONY attacked the article, rather than the store (which they probably know has had a disproportionate number of returns).

Interesting point, I thought.
